Welcome!

Welcome to the Everglades Exploration Network! Here, you can meet others who share your passion for exploring the Everglades and Big Cypress backcountry, and to discuss and share your information and stories about your travels in the backcountry of the Everglades ecosystem. If you have already made one or more forays into the Everglades or the Big Cypress, your experience and insights will be welcome additions to our discussions and blogs.If you are still thinking about or planning on making such a trip, feel free to post your questions in one of our discussion forums. This is also a place for those who, like myself, have gone beyond the boundaries of the Park roads, trails and established campsites, and who have explored the Everglades backcountry as few others have since the creation of Everglades National Park more than 60 years ago. Please be sure to read the Site Guidelines before starting a discussion or posting a blog entry. We hope that with your participation we can make this site a valuable resource for exploring the vast wilderness of Everglades National Park and the Big Cypress National Preserve by canoe, kayak, or on foot, in a safe and responsible manner.
